'01 Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards - Cabernet Franc/Merlot (right bank Napa)
thread on it here: http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=308365

The other two (I don’t have vintages sorry):

Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon
Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon

For me personally my attitude at the time and surroundings play more than a minor role in how I experience/enjoy a wine.

Some Pinot Noir and Shiraz wines have been interesting to me lately.
